We are off to a great start in art class this year! 1st-4th Grade read The Day the Crayons Quit and are working on large crayons with paper wrappers about themselves. We also completed Painting Boot Camp - where we learned/reviewed all the skills and tools we'll need for painting this year. This week we'll be finishing up our crayons and starting a new project in each grade level. Last week DK had some free draw time with markers, practicing being careful to put the caps back on so they don't dry out. We even had our markers run an "obstacle course" on our papers around some legos. Kindergarten learned about many different kinds of lines, and how important they are for artists to use in their pictures. We drew lines running a race across our papers in oil pastel, and this week we will paint on top of them with watercolors. At Highlands we have been talking about art as a language, and learned about the street artist Banksy. We made a scratch board with oil pastel and black paint on mat board, and decorated it with words/symbols/pictures that represent us. We also talked about how we can evaluate art and wrote in our art journals about what we think makes good art.
